Darius Garland is the starting point guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA. Garland, who was picked 5th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft by the Cavs, is one of the best young guards in the league today, even having been selected to the all-star team in 2022. His journey from a small town in Indiana to an NBA star is truly inspiring.
Born on January 26, 2000, in Gary, Indiana, Garland attended Brentwood Academy in Tennessee, where he showed natural talent in handling the ball, averaging 17 points per game in his freshman year. Garland helped his high school team to state championships during all four years. He was rated five star point guard by all the scouts at the time, and went on to play college ball for the Vanderbilt Commodores.
At the time of his NBA debut, he was looked at as the Cavs' cornerstone in the post-LeBron era. Garland quickly got the duty as a primary ball handler of the young Cavs team, where his smart decision making and great shooting skills earned him the respect of his team and fans alike.
In the 2022/23 season, he played 69 games and averaged 21.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 7.8 assists per game. He shot particularly well last season, making 46.2% of his field goals and 41% of his three-pointers. This year’s prospects look bright for the Cavaliers, with players like Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert, Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley on the squad.
